xen: Remove buggy initial placement algorithm

The initial placement algorithm sometimes picks cpus outside of the
mask it's given, does a lot of unnecessary bitmasking, does its own
separate load calculation, and completely ignores vcpu hard and soft
affinities.  Just get rid of it and rely on the schedulers to do
initial placement.
